Having flowers in your house in winter is a good thing for your attitudes and mental health. Paper white Narcissus are perhaps the easiest plants to coax into flower. The bulbs are placed on top of a bed of marbles in a tall narrow vase to keep them propped upright. They seem to like cool window sills and light from eastern windows. When flower buds appear you can move them to other locations where you want something cheerful. They are also nice things to give people as a present. Not only are they attractive but they have a lovely fragrance. Too bad scratch and sniff monitor screens don't exist.
